“uh all the cables are soft, i don’t see any hard lines”

Why not sort your subscribed communities by New?

They have both trended towards eachother to the point that apart from UI/UX, there’s honestly very little difference for 90% of things.

This is very true. iOS and Android used to be on completely opposite ends of the spectrum - iOS looked pretty out of the box but you needed to jailbreak to do something as simple as skin your keyboard; Android used to be super confusing but you could customize literally everything. Now they’ve both shifted somewhat towards each other.

Fanboyism (for either side) is bad for consumers in general. I’ll use whatever fits my needs. I’m still on Android because sideloading is a massive draw for me, but it doesn’t mean i sneer at iOS users.

Does this work consistenyl? I tried that with Pinterest’s login popup and it doen’t work (the element changes every time you enter the site). I ended up adding a filter to remove all Pinterest results from all my searches.

Called it. I said this last week when everyone was still hysterical about blocking Meta:

Everyone is talking about defederating preemptively because of XMPP and EEE. But the very fact that we know about EEE means that it’s much less likely to succeed.

Zuck is seeing the metaverse crash and burn and he knows he needs to create the next hot new thing before even the boomers left on facebook get bored with it. Twitter crashing and burning is a perfect business opportunity, but he can’t just copy Twitter - it has to be “Twitter, but better”. So, doing what any exec does, he looks for buzzwords and trends to make his new product more exciting. Hence the fediverse.

From Meta’s standpoint, they don’t need the Fediverse. Meta operates at a vastly different scale. Mastodon took 7 years to reach ~10M users - Threads did that in a day or two. My guess is that Zuck is riding on the Fediverse buzzword. I’m sure whatever integration he builds in future will be limited.

TL;DR below:

Yeah, I don’t like shorts but it would at least have been tolerable with a seek bar.

Would you rather fight 100 duck-sized horses or 1 horse-sized duck?

The damned quick toggles still look as bad as they were in 12 and 13. I’m still hoping for a UI redesign…

Honestly Reddit doesn’t infuriate me anymore. I haven’t been on reddit for 2 weeks now and I no longer feel the urge to check that site. I expect I’ll still end up there occasionally when I search for stuff, but gone are the days when I spend an hour or two every night on reddit.

What is the 196 community?

In responses within the thread, the OP actually sounds like they have a plan they intend to go through.

Regardless of whether this is genuine or not, the responses are hilarious (and interesting).

i pretty much consider beehaw a separate thing of its own at this point.

“our costs have gone up amidst am inflationary environment and we have had no choice but to increase prices. Oh hey don’t look at our financial statements, the fact that we made record profits is irrelevant.”

oh nice GIF, is that Obi-Wan Kenobi?

(ok i’ll stop)

Use the Force, Harry

Ooh how exciting! I can’t wait to talk about everything Star Trek related - lightsabers, Death Stars, droids and more!

(Jk don’t ban me lol)

well… go to /r/HailCorporate and sort by all-time top scores.

Here’s a specific example, although you may not be able to see the actual post until/if the sub is back up https://www.reddit.com/r/HailCorporate/comments/6cq3xe/i_told_popular_shaving_company_i_was_canceling/

What ruined it for me was hidden viral marketing and low-effort karmar whores. I think it was HailCorporate which highlighted just how many posts were straight up viral marketing attempts, and how many of these were posted from accounts with a strange comment history. I couldn’t unsee it after that.

As for karma whores… it’s funny to see a pun chain, but not when that’s the top comment for 99% of all popular posts.

is there a discord where things are being organised?

Redditor of 11 years here - i feel you.

For what it’s worth, i’m trying to start one of my favorite reading subs (maliciouscompliance) -

I’m interested in Battlebots too, so if you start one I’ll definitely join!
